Why study Applied Linguistics at UQ?This postgraduate coursework program offers study in the fields of Applied Linguistics and TESOL, equipping you with the necessary knowledge, tools and understanding for working in areas of second language teaching, translation, interpretation and other second language areas.

The program has two missions. The first is to provide a quality professional development program for teachers of English and other languages and language professionals in second language areas. The second is to provide coursework students the opportunity to explore research options and to develop specialisations for further study.

Being part of the program allows you to develop your identity as a language professional and become part of a global network. Graduates emerge with a critical understanding of current approaches and developments in the field. A particular emphasis is placed on applying these understandings to professional practice in teaching and other areas of second language learning and use. There is also a strong social component in the program and many opportunities for you to network outside the classroom.

Career opportunitiesThe ongoing demand for qualified teachers of English and other second languages such as Chinese and Japanese provides a wide range of employment opportunities both in Australia and overseas. These opportunities include classroom teaching, testing, and language program management. Graduates also take up positions in business and government that draw on the understanding of how languages are used in different settings and cultures.

The master’s program has a strong national and international reputation. Graduates take up, and in many cases

return to, teaching and administrative positions in high schools, universities and language schools in Australia and New Zealand and abroad, including East Asia (China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, and Vietnam), Europe (UK and Finland), Latin America (Chile and Colombia), the Middle East (Oman and Saudi Arabia), Africa (Egypt, Mozambique), and North America (Canada, USA, Mexico).

ARTS IN CHINESE TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING

Why study Arts in Chinese Translation and Interpreting at UQ?This program gives you intensive training in translation from English into Chinese and vice versa, as well as interpreting between English and Mandarin. The program is approved by the National Accreditation Authority for Translator and Interpreters (NAATI) at Professional Translator and Interpreter levels.

The School of Languages and Cultures is a leader in the teaching of interpreting and translation, and you will have access to one of the top interpreter training facilities in Australia, equipped with a simultaneous interpreting booth constructed to United Nations standards. The facility also has video-conferencing capability and a full computer lab.

Topics for translation and interpreting practice include health and medical care, business and trade, law, science and technology, tourism, politics and international relations.

Students who proceed to complete the master’s program will be qualified up to the first professional level specified by NAATI (formerly known as level 3). They will be trained in different areas including society, business and trade, law, science and technology, politics and international relations, and will be expected to satisfactorily perform as professionals in related translation and interpreting situations.

There are limited places available each semester and entry into the program is very competitive. Early applications are strongly encouraged.

Practicals, placements and internshipsStudents are required to do 120 hours of field practice in translation and interpreting, which has been set to meet the NAATI guidelines. This field practice is designed to introduce students to, and involve them in, active translation and interpreting tasks within specific field settings and under the supervision of the program convenor, experienced translators/interpreters or a mentor assigned by the program convenor. While the overall purpose of the practicum is to ensure that students have maximum opportunity to be active in translation/interpreting tasks, other learning activities related to the general work context of translation/interpreting, (e.g. attending interdisciplinary meetings, conferences, an agency visit and interpreter-assisted court proceedings) will be facilitated wherever and whenever possible. Students are placed in various government and community organisations and companies around Brisbane, or provided with simulated practice.

Professional memberships and accreditationGraduates may be eligible for membership with the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters at the first Professional level (formerly NAATI level 3).

Career opportunitiesStudies in translation and interpreting equip you with the necessary knowledge, tools and foundations for future employment as a professional interpreter and/or translator. The language skills acquired in your studies are an advantage for careers in business, diplomacy, law, health, education and academia. Graduates from this program often work as professional translators and/or interpreters on a full-time or part-time basis, or use translation and interpreting skills as additional skills in their work. Apart from working in the translation and interpreting market, graduates also obtain employment in different sectors such as government organisations, business and legal firms, foreign diplomatic agencies and in publishing. Some graduates teach translation and interpreting at universities or colleges, or pursue further study towards a PhD based on the qualification and knowledge they have obtained from this program.

GRADUATE DIPLOMAGD

Why study Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation at UQ?The Master of Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation (MAJIT) is the leading Japanese interpreting and translation program in Australia – the only program approved by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) at both Conference Interpreter and Advanced Translator levels.

As a student, you will have access to one of the top interpreter training facilities in Australia, equipped with simultaneous interpreting booths constructed to United Nations standards. The facility also has video-conferencing capability and a full computer lab. You will build the foundation for a career in high-level translation and interpreting, develop advanced linguistic competence in both Japanese and English, and be trained to work in specialised fields as a conference interpreter and advanced translator.

All materials covered in interpreting classes are authentic and cover a range of subjects likely to arise in a real conference interpreting setting. Materials in translation classes also cover a range of subjects, including highly specialised areas of legal and medical translation.

Students study translation into their native language (English or Japanese) only, and interpreting (consecutive and simultaneous) in both directions. Students who are not native speakers of either Japanese or English should study translation into their stronger language.

Professional qualificationsGraduates may be eligible to receive qualifications from the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) at the following levels:

• Conference Interpreter*• Advanced Translator*• Professional Interpreter*• Professional Translator*

*Please note that NAATI will introduce a new certification system in 2018 and final details are yet to be confirmed.

Accreditation bodyThe Master of Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation is approved by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI).

While this program is NAATI-approved, completing this degree does not result in automatic accreditation for graduates. Please refer to the Master of Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation FAQs on the School of Languages and Cultures website (languages-cultures.uq.edu.au).

Career opportunitiesGraduates work around the world as freelance or in-house interpreters and translators, using their translation and interpreting skills in a wide range of fields. Others have gone onto successful careers in business and government, including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Austrade and the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources. A number of graduates also teach interpreting and translation at tertiary level.


ARISA KAJIYAMA

Arisa Kajiyama graduated from a Master of Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation (MAJIT) in 2015. Since then she has been working as a freelance translator and interpreter. After a practice run as a volunteer interpreter on a round-the-world cruise organised by a Japanese NGO, she started her career as an interpreter, her clients including Australian business owners and government officials.

One of my recent jobs was for the Lord Mayor of Brisbane Graham Quirk and his business delegation’s trade mission

to Tokyo. I interpreted their presentations and speeches in front of audiences of up to 200 people. I also had the honour of interpreting for the Premier of Queensland, Annastacia

Palaszczuk, during her trade mission to Japan, which included a historic visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum where I interpreted the explanations of the exhibition by the museum director.

My knowledge of the Australia–Japan relationship gained through MAJIT has helped me greatly in these particular jobs. Most of the speeches presented by the Lord Mayor and the Premier were similar to what I had practised in MAJIT classes, so much so that I could anticipate how the sentence would end before it did. MAJIT also contributed significantly to reducing my preparation time because I had an extensive collection of vocabulary lists and information materials I had acquired during my studies. Efficiency in research is crucial for interpreters, who are given limited time to prepare. MAJIT gave me a career goal and a chance to achieve it!”

Why study Atrocity Prevention at UQ?One of the first programs of its kind in the world, UQ’s Graduate Certificate in Atrocity Prevention equips students and practitioners with rigorous and practical skills in preventing atrocities at the local, national and global levels. The focus of the graduate certificate is on the critical importance of strengthening both strategic assessment and prevention, as well as developing the capacity of governments, non-government organisations, international organisations, and civil society organisations to better respond to, and avert, potential mass atrocity situations.

Throughout the program, students are challenged to study and reflect on current issues and threats faced by the region and wider global community.

The graduate certificate is taught by UQ’s School of Political Science and International Studies and, in particular, the staff of the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (APR2P). The APR2P is a leading research centre on the Responsibility to Protect doctrine and the prevention of mass atrocities.

Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate in Atrocity Prevention may be eligible to articulate to either the 24-unit or the 32-unit Master of Peace and Conflict Studies.




E [email protected]

Career opportunitiesThe field of atrocity prevention is a new and growing area, and reflects an increasing international and state resolve to stop atrocity situations before they occur. The graduate certificate will provide students and professionals already working in the area with essential skills to prevent atrocities, whether you work or plan to work within government, international organisations, or non-government organisations.

COMMUNICATION

Why study Communication at UQ?Designed for graduates and professionals, this program provides students with the knowledge and skills they require to excel in designing and implementing communication strategies and methods across a wide range of applications.

Two fields of study are available within the postgraduate Communication program.

Communication for Social Change This field of study provides an in-depth understanding of communication for social change theory and practice, exploring the different ways in which communication can be leveraged to bring about change in attitudes, behaviour and knowledge in individuals, institutions and communities. It analyses the ways in which participation can make a difference in the planning, implementation and evaluation of change processes, the key role played by culture in social change, and contemporary uses of community media and ICTs in facilitating change. It is designed to strengthen critical skills, build capacities for work in the state, inter-governmental and non-government organisation (NGO) sectors, and build research excellence.

Public Relations and Professional Communication

This field provides a blend of theoretical and critical studies with workplace- relevant coursework to prepare students for employment in a wide range of professional communication and public relations roles. Students develop problem-solving skills, professional writing proficiencies, stakeholder engagement strategies, issues and crisis planning, campaign management, and ethical and legal critical thinking in this industry-facing program. The field aims to equip students with the professional knowledge and skills to work in a wide range of corporate, political or third-sector organisations – in Australia and internationally. Students develop a critical approach to the role of organisational and professional communication and an understanding of how globalisation and the emerging information economy are impacting on professional communication practice.

PUSPA NINGRUM

As a public servant in Indonesia, Puspa’s role involves strengthening her local government communication through strategic public relations. Her academic journey began at UQ when she accepted an Australian Awards Scholarship and chose to do a Master of Communication in the field of Public Relations and Professional Communication.

The Master of Communication program has trained my introverted personality to do public speaking,

handle media, pitch campaigns and write effectively in English. Furthermore, this program advanced my professional views by giving both perspectives of ideal and critical public relations. In short, this program has empowered me to be an agent of change for my government.”

ENGGAR PARAMITA

Enggar started her career in advertising and moved into development. She worked for international NGOs in Papua and Sulawesi, Indonesia, before winning an Australia Awards Scholarship to study at UQ. She chose UQ because it is the only university in Australia that has a specific Communication for Social Change program.

The most interesting aspect of the Communication for Social Change program is how it balances theory

with practice. I found the program to be accommodating for my future work because not only did it equip me with the skills to leverage communication in social change processes, but, most importantly, it enhanced my perspectives and helped me to think more critically and methodically. Additionally, it exposed me to participatory video and community radio, both of which are topics that I would like to study more about in the future.”

Career opportunitiesGraduates with a specialisation in Communication for Social Change find jobs as communication and facilitation specialists in government, non-government and community-based organisations and international research and development organisations, or they work as private consultants.

Graduates with a specialisation in Public Relations and Professional Communication are well equipped for diverse roles within public relations and marketing communication consultancies, not-for profit organisations and government bodies, including organisational communication, crisis management, government relations, social media management and political campaigning roles.


COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Why study Community Development at UQ?The field of community development focuses on the processes, skills and techniques of community development practice, preparing students for practice in local and/or international settings as both professionals and citizens. Courses teach students to critically evaluate and assess community issues; build the capacities of people and institutions; and mobilise and manage resources with the aim of social justice and sustainability.

Community development is a dynamic and growing field of practice used within all levels of government and across many departments (health, communities, ageing, housing, disabilities and multicultural and Indigenous affairs).

This program is a one-year part-time program that equips students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to become either a community development practitioner or to integrate community development practice into other professional fields. It complements many other disciplinary backgrounds including social work, social policy, social science, planning, rural development, international development and politics, human services, and peace and conflict studies. The program provides a suite of courses that integrate theory and practice in local and international settings and focuses on personal and social change.

Further study optionsGraduates of the Graduate Certificate in Community Development have the opportunity to progress into the following program:

• Master of Development Practice.

Why study Development Practice at UQ?The Development Practice program addresses key topics in the world: the political economy of development, gender, health, environment, climate change impact, food security, and methods for gauging social impacts of change on communities and regions. The courses bring together aspects of community-level development; urban, regional and social planning; and political analysis from local to global levels. The program teaches how to deal with the challenges faced by development practitioners across multiple levels and scales in both developed and developing countries.

The program offers a unique, multidisciplinary approach to advancing the knowledge and skills of students who seek to obtain a better understanding of the challenges of development in the contemporary context. Taught and supervised by scholars engaged in the field through research and practice, the teaching is both inspiring and informative.

While equipping students with analytical and technical skills for development work, teaching staff are intent on providing a learning space for students to ‘discover’ their practice. This requires deeply reflective capabilities to understand personal qualities as practitioners within the context of contemporary development practice.

SAMPLE COURSESSUSAN GARSON

Susan’s interest in languages was sparked by passionate teachers of German and Japanese in high school. Learning these languages opened her mind to travelling, learning about culture, and exchanging ideas with those from other lands. After completing a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education dual degree at UQ, Susan quickly progressed to full-time, permanent jobs in both the state and private sector, planning and running language courses within a fully integrated curriculum model.

However, Susan considers her Master of Educational Studies at UQ one of the highlights of her entire career.

I learnt to write, to develop my opinions, and engage in stimulating research projects. This course of

further study led me to work as a tutor in the Education Faculty at Griffith University for six years. My interest in educational work and languages has never diminished.”

AARON HOFFMAN

I am an Aboriginal man descended from the Iman language group in central Queensland. I chose

the Master of Governance and Public Policy (MGPP) because I wanted to better influence government policies and programs aimed at improving outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The MGPP exposed me to leading thinkers and key debates in the public, private and community sectors, which has given me a greater insight and better understanding of the way governments operate and the influence of new public management on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs.

I have incorporated my key learnings from the MGPP into various roles in the Department of

Having completed her BA at UQ, Libby was convinced that the School of Political Science and International Studies was the ideal place to undertake her postgraduate studies in International Relations.

The program constantly challenged me to look at international affairs and world events from all

The greatest strength of the master’s program was its staff. The lecturers fostered a stimulating academic environment with a dynamic student body, challenged me to elevate the standard of my work, and were highly supportive of professional development.

Aid agencies are decentralising their operations to national offices in developing countries, and employing more local staff in the process. Some middle-income countries have begun to operate their own aid programs to lower-income countries. Funders are requiring increased accountability and demonstrated impact.

TIM MULLALY

After a 15-year career in another industry, Tim felt it was time to move in a new direction and decided to return to study. Seeing the amazing work being done by teachers at his own children’s school, he decided to pursue a teaching career. After investigating a number of courses at different institutions, he chose to complete the Master of Teaching (Primary) at UQ. On graduating, Tim was immediately employed as a Year 4 teacher, leading a diverse cohort of students with a wide range of strengths and abilities.

As a new teacher, this proved to be a challenging role. But I felt well prepared thanks to the excellent tutors

BETH BARBER

For as long as she can remember, Beth has found great joy in reading and the way words are put together. After focusing her undergraduate studies on literature, she knew that working with words would bring her more satisfaction than any other field. The Writing, Editing and Publishing program was a perfect way to translate the knowledge she had acquired into practical skills.

The program taught Beth to hone her business communication ability, as well as her creative writing and editing skills.

The wide-reaching scope of the course means I’ve been able to work, not only in the arts, but in the corporate world – globally.”

These skills secured her an editorial position at the University of Queensland Press, one of Australia’s most prestigious small literary presses. After learning and growing in the role over a period of more than three years, itchy feet took her to Egypt, where she manages communication, branding, PR and marketing for a globally recognised law firm based in Cairo.

HIGHER DEGREE BY RESEARCH

ProgramsHDR programs at UQ include the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil). HDR students produce new knowledge and expertise that is innovative, relevant and progressive.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) A PhD is one of the highest degrees that can be awarded. It is an advanced academic qualification seen as a requirement for the majority of academic and research positions in a wide range of fields and industries. The aim of the PhD is to foster the development of independent research skills. These skills include the capacity to formulate a significant problem, to develop mastery of appropriate conceptual and methodological skills, and to relate the research topic to a broader framework of knowledge in a relevant disciplinary area.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil) An MPhil is an internationally recognised postgraduate research degree that involves undertaking a significant research project. The MPhil program provides students with an opportunity to develop and enhance analytical and research skills through independent investigation in a specific field. Many MPhil students choose to continue with their research to obtain a PhD. Some PhD students elect to finish early with an MPhil.

Why undertake an HDR?Most PhD and MPhil candidates undertake an HDR because they are driven by the desire to advance their career opportunities or satisfy their intellectual curiosity. Graduates from HDR programs typically enjoy academic or research careers within tertiary institutions or a broad range of professional and leadership roles within industry and government. As well as vocational benefits, completing an HDR positions you as an expert, and provides opportunities to travel, network and explore.
